A Museum for War Relics.

The discussion on the rebel flags has
brought out the fact that no suitable
place of deposit for such trophies, is pro
vided at Washington, and the proposal
has been made, and widely seconded that
a fund be raised for the construction at
Washington of a national museum or
memorial building, in which shall be
collected and properly displayed all the
flags and other trophies Of the various
wars which are in the possession
of the government The latest sug-
gestion is that the Grand Army
of the Republic should build this
memorial museum, and it is expected that
the suggestion will be brought before the
Grand Army at the approaching nationa
encampment in st. Louis. Such build
ing might also be used for place of de-
post for the muster rolls of posts of the
order, and other records and trophies
which are the property of the Grand Army
and which are likely to be lost or fall into
other hands eventually unless placed
where they will be permanently cared for.
There are now in existence some 600 Grand
Army posts, with a total membership OF
1000 men. The average age of the mem.
bers is forty-six years, and ii is estimated
that at the end of the next fifteen years
the number of members from natural
causes will have materially diminished
In time, the Grand Army, as now com
posed, will have ceased to exist When
this occurs, the G. A. r. records and relics
will, of course, be scattered and lost, un.
less some method of collecting and pre-
serving them is adopted What better
method could be desired than the erection
of "A national memorial museum at Wash
ington, 70 be in the possession of and un-
der the control of the g. A. r., while that
organization exists, and afterward to pass
into the hands of the Sons of Veterans OF

England and Turkey.

England's convention with Turkev
which, owing to the refusal of the sultan
to sign it, is postponed for the present,
relates to the conditions upon which Eng
and is to go out of Egypt. Russia and
France have induced the sultan to
take this course, not because they
want England to remain in Egypt but be-
cause they do not like the conditions
which England would exact for with
drawing her troops from the Nile valley.
What they particularly dislike is the fact
that there is no guarantee in the agree
ment that England will not come back
again as soon rs she has plausible ex-
cuse for so doing. II the convention
had been signed as it stands Eng
land would evacuate Egypt only
upon concession of her right to
return whenever she may deem il
eXpedient. 1t is this condition
that the sultan desires to have modified
before signing the convention He would
have it so modified that England shall
have the right to occupy Egypt only in case
the sultan is at any time unable to send
thither his own army. England, however
seems unwilling to accept the modifica
ton and if she should, it is doubtful
whether France and Russia would be
satisfied as thier objection to the presence
of England in Egypt is radical, and tn ey
deny even the right of England to make g
private convention with Turkey on sub
jeet that relates 20 the possible alienation
of province of the Ottoman Empire.

a few years ago the public heard for
the first time the extraordinary announce
ment from certain long haired apostles Of
what they called metaphysics" that dis
ease is purely mental phenomenon. The
body, said these new lights OF science,
can no more he diseased than a stone.
The lAjnd is the only part OF man which
can be diseased and this mental derange-
ment is simply projected upon the flesh,
Hence. to cure any physical disease, the
treatment must be applied to the source
of the evil-the mind
At first this doctrine was almost uni
versally ridculed. But gradually il be
gan to gain adherents, and now its con
verts are numbered by thousands and
there are no less than nine so-called col

There seems to be general demand
that Congress at its next session shall
take some further action looking to the
restriction of immigration. The char
acter of a large proportion of those who
have come, or have been sent, to our
shores during the past year is not such as
would naturally, even under the most
favorable conditions, make them good
and useful American citizens. The people
of this country would exclude none from
the privileges which they enjoy. except
those who are either incapable of con-
tributng to the extension of those privi-
leges or who would subvert them al
together-that is, either paupers or Grim
nals. These classes we do not want and
should not be compelled to take.
Several schemes have been proposed and
discussed for the regulation and restrc-
ton of immigration so rs to exclude the
objectionable classes which have been
mentioned. One is that no foreigner
should be allowed to land ON these shores
who has not enough money in his posses
sion to keep him without working for a
year. This would effectually prevent the
immigration of paupers, but it is a ques-
ton whether it would not also bar good
many industrious and worthy immigrants
who have been living up to the extent of
their means and seek this country to bet
ter their fortunes. Another objection to
this plan is that European workmen who
have enough capital laid by to support
themselves for year are not likely to be
the ones who would immigrate; so that
the law would practically shut out the
very class we need and can make the best
use of in this country. In fact, some of our
largest capitalists and men of most influ-
ence in the community were poor men
when they came to this country, and
would probably have been shut out by
such law as has been proposed.
A method of restricting immigration
for which a statute is now in effect is by
excluding contract labor. Contract labor
brings, as general thing, very unde-
sirable class of immigrants to this country
the offscourings of such cheap labor
markets as those of Italy, Bohemia and
Poland, men who have neither sympathy
with our institertions nor knowledge of
them. But this statute does not shut out
the pauper and the criminal, and 1t is a
law of this sort which the people demand
at the hands of Congress. The paupeI
should not include the poor man, who is
capable of earning livelihood and will
ing to do so. The criminal class should
include all those who are inimical to oul
| institutions

A New Dodge.

The Mormons are as full of expedients
as an egg is Of meat. Their latest dodge
is one which will create no little surprise.
The Mormon constitutional convention,
which has been in session for the purpose
of organizing as a State has adopted an
article forbidding polygamy in the new
State, the prohibition to stand until re-
moved by federal authority This can
hardly be anything else than dodge to de-
ceive the unwary. We do not believe
that the saints intend to renounce polyg
amy as a practice, neither do we believe
that they are sincere in their professions
Of loyalty. 1t was only year ago that
they hung the American flag at half mast
and hurled invectives against a govern
ment which presumed to execute its laws
on it's own territory. What guaranty
have the American people that this spirit
has vanished The anti-polygamy clause
of the Mormon constitutional convention
is simply blind. The motive of the Nor
mons is plain enough. They want to
have Utah admitted to the Union as a
State, so that they can gain seat in the
United States Senate. This, of course,
would be impossible, SO long as the Nor
mons hold to polygamy, which is forbid
den by the laws of the United States.
Their astute leaders recognize this fact,
and the course which has been pursued
by the government has convinced them
that unless they make at least a show of
renouncing polygamy they can never OBJ
tain any political vantage ground in this
country. Hence the antipolygamy clause
of the Mormon constitutional convention.
1t is shallow and insipcere artifice, and
no honest American who is familiar with
the past record of Mormondom should
allow himself to be deceived by it.

MIR. Cleveland's Gettysburg Letter.
Kingston Freeman:

Did any recent predecessor OF Mr..
Cleveland discover that there was a "bit-
terness of strife in existence Grant
wrote Let us have peace" and did his
utmost to promote fraternal feeling be-
tween the two sections. He never once
lamented over "trenzied appeals to pas
sion" for there We're Mole. ten. Garfield,
in his inaugural message, announced TO
the American people that united coun-
try had put the past behind it, while the
South praised General Arthur rs the only
president who had written of the nation
as one country without single reference
to the South Us distinct section. It was
left to Mr. Cleveland to discover the
traffic in sectional hate and the betrayal
of patriotic sentiment" He made the dis
covery when he undertook to send back
the rebel flagS. The soldiers who object
ed were traflicking in sectional hate"
II was his patriotic sentiment that had
been betrayed by the men who fought for
the Mon. II would have been but a
short step further to join with the Roches-
ter Ynion in charging the soldiers with
disloyalty, and reminding them that for
similar attacks upon the president, the.
most patriotic men in the country had been
sent to Fort Lafayette.

The agricultural element in the labor
party is the great obstacle to the political
aspirations of Mr.. Henry George. In the
State convention of the labor party of
Ohio now sitting in Columbus, there are
100 farmers, everyone of whom, of course,
believes that mis- farm belongs to him, and
takes no stock in the idea that it is com
mon property. While the farmers are so
large portion of our population, it is not
likely that Mr. Georges land theories will
make any considerable progress outside
the great cities.
1t has been said and pretty generally
credited that there is no Sabbath west
of Chicago" But according to the
Toronto Globe, Winnipeg is a more dis
tinctively Sunday observing city than any

says the Globe, the streets are empty and
the churches full. There is said to be
church accommodation for $1,000 in a
population of $4,000, and it is all utilized.
There is no street car traffic, all places of
business are closed and the people enjoy

ing knife in hand" Instead of that, Bis
marck is using the pruning knife vigor-
ously upon the upspringing liberties of

Opinions differ as to the wisdom of
President Cleveland's course in declining
to 90 to St. Louis. His own party men
and organs, rs rule think that he did
wisely. Republicans generally think that
he made blunder, and has lost more by
his refusal, and his written lecture to the
Grand Army, than he would have done by
going bravely forward and setting him
self right with the veterans by judicious
speech. The whole affair is unfortunate,
